they want to charge me more money to mount and balance tires, because i have low profile tires.
Is this BS or what? He said it takes 2 people to do it because they are low pro.

Not BS. The mounting is more difficult with low profile tires. The balancing should be the same.

its much more difficult to do low profile tires. less sidewall to stretch when mounting. it can be hard enough just doing a like 60 aspect ratio tire on certain machines.
